thanks for the replies fellas.

i should have been more clear - "nightlife" to us is basically nice resturants and a good movie theater. I'm basically looking for a clean city, with lots of good shopping, newer looking buildings, nicely landscaped suburban type neighborhoods. you all know what i'm talking about

i'm in pittsburgh now, which is a dirty old town filled with too many old people and old ways of thinking (racism, women not equal to men, etc..). a change of scenery would be nice.
